If you don't drink, you'll get acutely dehydrated and end up in the hospital with an I.V. stuck in your arm and a bill for $3,000. So, I think what you meant is that you don't drink alcohol. That's good - it'll save you some money, even enough to take a nice vacation, but won't necessarily extend your life, unless you have a "condition".
Anyway, two things:
If you're coming down the coast, you HAVE to stop in Beserkeley and spend some time on Telegraph Avenue, near the university campus. Lots of interesting stores and some good restaurants. Also Shattuck Avenue. They're very cool, and a little like stepping back in time to 1969 (except for the parking). However, at all costs, avoid going over the SF-Oakland bay bridge unless it's between 11 AM and 2 PM. Otherwise, it'll possibly be the worst two hours (one way) of your trip. Better to traverse the bay more northernly.
Secondly, be aware of airline/government restrictions on carrying wine. 100 ml liquid in carry-on. If you want to take several bottles back with you, you'll need to put them in checked luggage, so, bring some additional clean socks and some bubble wrap with you, and plan to spend an hour figuring out how best to pack it so that your clothes aren't ALL various shades of red when you get back home.
OK, that's all I've got.
Have a great trip!
